Global adventurer to speak at LTP

07 June 2016

Businesses at Langstone Technology Park near Portsmouth will have priority access to a talk given by global adventurer James Ketchell on June 8. Business and property solutions provider Fasset, one of the companies based at Langstone, is to host a Power of Persistence breakfast networking event from 8am until 10am with Ketchell as the guest speaker.

In 2007, Ketchell was recovering from a serious motorcycle accident that left him with broken legs and a severely broken and dislocated ankle. Doctors believed he would struggle to walk normally again.

However, having worked hard on his recovery, Ketchell became the first and only person to have completed ‘The Ultimate Triathlon’, having rowed across the Atlantic Ocean, successfully summited Mount Everest and cycled 18,000 miles around the world.

In addition to these incredible feats, Ketchell has become a powerful motivational speaker and a Scouting ambassador. He has also raised tens of thousands of pounds for his chosen charities as he climbed, rowed, and cycled his way around the world.

At the Power of Persistence breakfast, Ketchell will speak about a range of challenges including the Round Britain Row Challenge: his single-handed attempt to row around Great Britain, through which he raises funds for the children’s charity, Over The Wall.

James will be passing on his tips about overcoming adverse conditions, perseverance and positive thinking, and how people can use these skills within the business world to achieve their goals.

This is just one of many fantastic events and opportunities on offer at Langstone Technology Park. We have set up a sports viewing area so that our tenants can watch key sporting events this summer and we host regular networking, active and fundraising events. As a result, employees feel like they are part of a real community which stretches far beyond their own company and colleagues.

Langstone provides exceptional views and walks, and is easy to get to by car and by public transport. With free parking, bike servicing facilities, a Starbucks, a restaurant, a gym and a nursery on site, there are plenty of support services and places to relax within easy reach.

Such quality office space for rent in Havant can be difficult to come by, so it’s definitely worth considering Langstone. Our technology park offices near Portsmouth are equipped with the very latest technology and offer 24/7 security.
